The performance in all segments of the integrated steel plant of the Company has been quite satisfactory. During the year the Company has successfully commissioned a Sponge Iron kiln which has resulted in further integration of capacities and substantial cost reduction. Further the Company has made additions in its power generation capacities also. These capacity additions have helped the Company achieve highest ever production in the Sponge Iron and Power segments. In the steel segment the turnover has registered impressive growth resulting from stable demand and much higher realisation. Captive coal mining operations and production have been as per the targets. Rigid PVC Pipes has improved upon the performance and has achieved highest ever production during the year. The Company’s products are strongly placed in the market due to their superior quality which gives them a distinct edge over competitors.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

The Company has undertaken further expansion in its Sponge Iron capacity and is setting up an additional module. In addition, the Company has also taken up expansion in its Steel Billet and Ferro Alloys capacity to reach the next level of integration and to captively utilise the surplus power generation arising out of the new capacity set up in this year.

 

The Company is in the midst of a major expansion the Power Generation capacity and is implementing a total capacity of 625 MW in a phased manner. The first phase of 100 MW has been commissioned towards the end of the last fiscal year and the balance capacity shall be taken in a phased manner in due course of time.

 

The Company is planning to further improve upon the capacity utilization in the TMT division of the Company in the current financial year.

With the mines becoming operational, the Company shall be fully self reliant in terms of raw material requirement. All these steps are expected to give further boost to the profitability of the Company in the coming year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian Steel Industry has huge growth potential in the coming years. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of crude steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world and is expected to rise to the position of 2nd largest crude steel producer by 2016. As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Plan, there is substantial scope for raising the per capita steel consumption in the country significantly in the light of estimated huge infrastructure investment, increase in urban population, emergence of the rural market for steel buoyed by projects like Bharat Nirman, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Awaas Yojana among others. Based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, it is estimated that the crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 mt by 201617 and based on the status of MOUs signed by the private producers with the various State Governments, it is expected that India's steel capacity would exceed 200 mt by 2020. On the whole, the outlook for the domestic operating environment appears to be positive.

 

 

SEGMENT WISE / PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE / OUTLOOK

 

The Company is primarily engaged in steel, power and mining operations.

 

The performance of the integrated steel and power operations have been satisfactory during the year. The Company augmented its Sponge Iron capacity by setting up an additional kiln during the year, which shall contribute to significant cost savings in the steel operations in the coming times. The performance of the power division was also satisfactory. Out of the total 625 MW power capacity expansion plan, the Company also successfully commissioned first 100 MW power plant during the last financial year and the balance capacities shall be implemented gradually in a modular fashion. The performance of the Wire Rod Division of the Company continued to be satisfactory. The operations of the TMT Bar Mill were also resumed during the later half of the year on revival of demand. Captive coal mining operations continued at optimal level throughout the year.
